Robert Downey Jr. Endorses Ironheart: Trailer Incoming

Why this matters: Robert Downey Jr.'s endorsement provides a significant boost for Ironheart, reassuring fans that the character is a worthy successor to Iron Man. The series promises a unique blend of tech and magic, offering a fresh perspective within the MCU.

Ironheart follows Riri Williams as she returns to her hometown of Chicago, where she encounters secrets that bring technology and magic into conflict. The series stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams/Ironheart, Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins/The Hood, and features a talented ensemble cast.

The Hood, a street-level criminal with mystical powers, will challenge Riri's technological prowess. Rumors also persist about the appearance of Mephisto, Marvel's version of the devil, potentially adding another layer of intrigue to the series. Brad Winderbaum from Marvel Television confirmed that the show draws inspiration from the early Iron Man films, even using a practical suit on set for visual reference. Riri is expected to don a few different costumes over the course of the series, but will spend a majority of the show in the early prototype suit shown in the various promo images and teasers.

Ironheart is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on June 24, 2025.

Anthony Ramos plays Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood, a street-level criminal who gains mystical powers.
